SAREX....the boardgame

[jpizzo127]

Before I even start, has this been done already?

I'm developing a self contained board game that can be used as a prepackaged table-top SAREX.

I'm making it a little more fun than a regular table-top but 100% designed to be a learning experience for Flight Crews, Ground Teams, and Base Staff.

One of the tasks teams have to complete is to answer trivia questions based on CAP's Emergency Services Qualifications for example:

The primary role of the Mission Observer is:

or

Each Ground team member is required to carry how much water on thier person per 24 hour period?

A correct answer earns the team a clue or an extra search sortie, etc. I've not worked that out yet.

However, I could use lists of questions and answers if anyone has some. I don't care if they are AC, GT, etc. Otherwise, I'll start scavenging CAPNHQ.

Also, any good ideas will be incorporated into the game. I'll be happy to share the whole thing with anyone who wants it once it's done.

Thoughts?

Nothing helpful, but my brain immediately started concocting amusing "Chance" and "Community Chest" cards for a Sarex-opoly.   


"Wing error on your 108 in your favor.. Collect 30 cents."

"New Uniforms!   Pay CAP $200."

"Get Out Of IG Inquiry Free!"

...etc...

"Stalled train blocks only road to the other side of train, wait 3 turns"
Actually happened.

[Robborsari]

I think its a great idea.  There could be a lot of good training info in a game like that.  You could have cooperative operations also.  One team could be ground and one air, if they can communicate with standard signals they both advance.
